overview for BearPear

I have noticed that some users here don't have time to watch videos. I think on most of the video links I share here, there are always users commenting that it is better to read an article than watching this video. To be honest, I don't like all this complaining. It is kind of annoying.

So to make the users who dont have time to watch a video happy. Post a tldw summary. You dont have to write it yourself or anything. Just use chatgpt or something similar.

I have also noticed that there is better engagement and discussions when a tldw is posted.

I use flatpak and I actually like it. It is one of the ways I can get up to date packages on Debian.

5 Things LINUX MINT Objectively Does Better Than WINDOWS 11 (www.youtube.com)

submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

TLDW of this video from ChatGPT

The video highlights the following main points about why Linux Mint is considered better than Windows 11:

Start Menu and Customization: Linux Mint's menu is more organized and customizable than Windows 11's start menu. It offers three columns, resizable icons, and customizable labels.
Taskbar (Panel) Features: Linux Mint's panel is more flexible, allowing repositioning, resizing, and creation of additional panels. Applets enhance functionality, offering features like quick desktop access and window behavior customization.
Privacy and Telemetry: Linux Mint is privacy-focused, avoiding telemetry. Certain apps' telemetry can be manually disabled. Windows 11 is criticized for lacking privacy.
Bloatware and Pre-installed Apps: Linux Mint has minimal bloatware, including useful tools or open-source alternatives. Windows 11 can have cluttered start menus with unwanted icons.
Batch File Renaming and Management: Linux Mint's file management includes advanced batch renaming with insertion, removal, and case conversion. Windows 11 lacks similar features.
Security (Future Topic): Security is mentioned as a potential future topic, with Linux Mint considered more privacy-oriented than Windows 11. Discussions about security are acknowledged.

The narrator encourages viewer engagement and discussion on the covered topics.

But seriously, the website does need a revamp.

Look at the linux mint website, it is so clean, modern and easy to use.

I remember reading a comment on youtube on another video which mentioned that the download page is an IQ test to determine if a user is worthy of using Debian.

The downloader page has improved after the release of bookworm

Your choice of browser matters — Google's Web DRM and the open internet by BearPear in c/[email protected]

Oh, also Firefox is the only mainstream browser on Android that supports installing extensions.

I have been using Firefox since the release of Firefox 57 aka Firefox Quantum in 2017. I love the browser and most of sites run well in firefox. But there have been a few cases where I had to use a chromium based browser.

Firefox + Ublock origin is a great and awesome combo.

I also use Firefox on android. It is okay, but I sometimes feel it is slow at loading some sites. But it is not a big deal.

FOSS Software I use, proprietary apps alternatives by BearPear in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Instead of using Gmaps. You can try

Organic Maps (Simple and clean app that just works)
OsmAnd (Full of great features but it may be too much for you). Supports realtime map update in pro version or the fdroid version.
Magic Earth but i think it is not foss
Mapy.cz uses Openstreetmap but it also does not seem to be foss. But the map is updated in real time.
